Flat Stanley - 2nd Class Art with Mary Slevin
Junior Entrepreneur Programme 2018
6th Class have decided to take part in the Junior Entrepreneur Programme this year. Junior Entrepreneur Programme (JEP) is an entrepreneurial awareness and skills enhancement programme for Primary School children, created & developed in Ireland!
It involves the children developing a product or service which they can sell to schoolgoers here in Scoil Naomh Eoin and their parents. As we have had so many ideas developed within the group, we are having a ‘Dragons’ Den’ style competition to decide which product we will develop further. The children of both 6th classes will then work together to manufacture, promote and sell this product.
The children are working really hard on the JEP initiative and are really enjoying it. The Board of Management are so happy with all their hard work that they are willing to help out the selected product with some start-up money.
We hope that you will support us when our product is finally launched.
